  • Marie Antoinette

    by Hilaire Belloc ...
    Marie Antoinette was the wife of Louis XVI of France, the reigning King at the time of the French Revolution.

    by Voltaire, Owen Fenlow ...
    Translated by William F. Fleming ...
    Voltaire's The Age of Louis XIV is less a conventional royal biography than a sweeping cultural history of seventeenth-century Europe, centered on France's political ascendancy and artistic brilliance under the Sun King.

  • Richelieu

    by Hilaire Belloc, Fr. Michael Crowdy ...
    A biography of Cardinal Richelieu of France-considered by many to be the founder of modern Europe-this book does not seek to make Richelieu a figure either of irrational worship or irrational hate. Belloc impartially examines Richelieu's life and career, delves into his Catholic and family roots, and pinpoints their relevance to the development of his character, his thought, and his political and ...

  • COMPLETE HISTORY OF FRANCE FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES IN 6 VOLUMES

    by Francois Guizot ...
    Every history, and especially that of France, is one vast, long drama, in which events are linked together according to defined laws, and in which the actors play parts not ready made and learned by heart, parts depending, in fact, not only upon the accidents of their birth, but also upon their own ideas and their own will. There are, in the history of peoples, two sets of causes essentially ... Read more

    by vicomte de François-René Chateaubriand & Alexander Teixeira de Mattos ...
    As it is not possible for me to foresee the moment of my end; as at my age the days accorded to man are but days of grace, or rather of reprieve, I propose, lest I be taken by surprise, to make an explanation touching a work with which I intend to cheat the tedium of those last forlorn hours which we neither desire, nor know how to employ. The Memoirs prefaced by these lines embrace and will ... Read more

  • Paris from the Earliest Period to the Present Day; Volume 1

    by William Walton ...
    If the capital of the French nation, situated on the river Seine, were simply the most beautiful, the wittiest, wickedest, and most artistic of towns, if – as has been so often asserted (and not exclusively by the citizens thereof) – the most commonplace and the most brilliant of human manifestations alike take on new qualities, texture, and interest the moment they become Parisien, then, indeed, ...
